Appeal from the



County Court

of Ward County, Texas



(TC# 4860)



MEMORANDUM OPINION



This case is also before the Court on its own motion for determination whether the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution due to Appellant's failure to pay the case filing fee. Finding that Appellant has failed to pay the required fee, we dismiss the appeal.

Appellant filed her notice of appeal on September 11, 2007. She did not pay the filing fee as required by Tex.R.App.P. 5, nor did she establish her indigence in accordance with Tex.R.App.P. 20.1. On September 14, 2007, the Clerk of the Court requested that Appellant pay the filing fee. On October 19, 2007, the Clerk made a second request for payment of the $175 filing fee. The letter informed Appellant that the fee had not been paid and that failure to pay the filing fee within twenty days would result in dismissal of her appeal. Appellant has not paid the filing fee. Because Appellant has failed to pay the requisite filing fee as directed by the Court, we dismiss the appeal pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(c).
